Chapter 45: The Silver Candle Branch
The weather was overcast and cold, with a chilly wind passing through the valley, heralding the end of autumn.
A squirrel has not yet stocked enough food for the winter, and is now walking through the barren mountains and forests, trying to pick up some pine nuts or hazelnuts that have fallen on the ground and have not been picked up by other squirrels.
Its dark eyes are constantly turning, using its keen sense of smell to find food, and its excellent hearing to be alert to its surroundings, lest a python emerge and swallow it for the winter.
As it ran, it suddenly blew up and rushed to the treetops in fright.
The open space below is filled with all kinds of nuts!
There are almonds, walnuts, chestnuts......
The squirrel was so hungry that it drooled, and after observing it for a while, it immediately jumped down the tree and threw himself into the pile of nuts, only to stuff it into his mouth.
It wasn't until his cheeks bulged bigger than his head that he couldn't even stuff a pine nut into it that he reluctantly left.
Shortly after it left, a young girl with a nut in her hand appeared.
It's not appropriate to say it's a girl.
Her upper body is in the shape of a human, her appearance is cute and smart, there are a pair of clear purple eyes under her slender eyelashes, and her complexion is fair, which can be broken by blowing.
The lower body is the shape of a deer, light brown in color, with dark brown spots.
She is a deer demon and the mountain god of this Nanmu Mountain, called the Silver Candle Branch.
The silver candlestick dangled its short, white tail and hummed a song to put nuts bought in human towns on the ground.
Suddenly, she looked up and saw that someone had gone up the mountain.
She has been recognized as the god of the mountain by Nanmu Mountain, and every grass and tree in the mountain is under control.
A woodcutter who goes up the hill to chop wood?
She jumped in the direction the movement was coming from.
After a while, the silver candle branch hiding in the dark saw the people coming up the mountain.
It was an old couple shivering with cold, with a baby in their arms.
They looked anxious, panting and halfway up the mountain, took out a stick of incense, lit it and stuck it on the ground.
The couple kept kowtowing to each other.
"Mountain god, everyone says that you are the most spiritual, save my grandson."
"He's sick, and Lang Zhong says he can't cure it......"
"The child is pitiful, his parents were eaten by barbarians as coolies in Yuzhou......"
"Ask the mountain god to be kind enough to save him."
The more the silver candle branch listened, the more distressed it became, tears were about to come out, and the palm of his hand lit up, holding a branch with a swaying spark.
She could see that the child was cold and cold, and she thought that he had collided with some evil thing, and it was a miracle that he had survived until now.
She began to mobilize the power of desire she had gathered over the years.
The silver candle branch was originally just a cultivation of refining the gods and returning to the void, but it was the collected wish power that made her strong and became an "immortal".
Although curing this child consumes far more wish power than the wish power produced by that stick of incense, if you don't save yourself when you see death, you are not worthy of being the mountain god of Nanmu Mountain.
She has always believed that since she has become a mountain god, she must take the responsibility of a mountain god.
When the children go up the mountain to play, she will secretly watch over them to prevent them from falling off the cliff.
The economy in the mountains is not good, she will use her mana to carve exquisite stone carvings, turn into human forms and sell them down the mountain, and use the money she earns to buy nuts and give them to small animals for the winter.
Therefore, she will never give up saving people because of her willingness.
The branches shone brightly, and a soft light of wish power drifted towards the dying child and melted into his brow.
"Wow~~"
The cry of a baby resounded through the mountains and forests.
The old couple wept with joy and began to kowtow again.
"Thank you, the god of the mountains! Thank you, Mountain God!"
"We will definitely build a temple for you when we earn money!"
……
Silver Candlestick smiled happily when she saw their smiles.
Suddenly! Demon Wind Strike!
A strong humanoid tiger demon descended from the sky, first trampling the old man to death, then shattering the old woman's head with a punch, and then swallowing the crying baby into his mouth and chewing it alive!
Silver Candlebranch's smile stopped abruptly, and his face turned pale after seeing this scene, and his pupils couldn't stop trembling.
The tiger demon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the silver candle branch with a cruel smile:
"Good blood food!"
The silver candlestick was furious, and shouted angrily:
"Tiger Er! You dare to harm people in my Nanmu Mountain! ”
This Tiger Er is also the mountain god of a mountain a hundred miles away. In order to force humans to worship it, he did not hesitate to slaughter the mortals of a village as a threat, and Silver Candle Branch hated it.
It stared at the silver candlestick and shouted:
"What do you want to do by expending your will power at any cost?! My believers in Shiguo Mountain have all come to you! ”
The more believers they receive, the more incense offerings they receive, and the more vows they receive.
Tiger Er has been getting a pitiful amount of wish power recently, and after investigating, he found out that his followers actually came to find the silver candle branch!
It jumped into the air and turned into a huge tiger, and after tumbling to the ground, its eyes were full of tyrannical killing intent:
"Silver Candle Branch! Everybody needs willpower! How can you rob everyone alive?! ”
The fawn's eyes were frightened, but he gritted his teeth and replied loudly:
"If you don't kill people and do a lot of good, everyone will like you!"
"Humph! Lao Tzu didn't drown them in a flash flood, they were already doing good deeds! ”
Tiger Er roared, his scarlet fangs flickering coldly, and he swooped down on the silver candle branch.
The silver candle branch hurriedly jumped away from the spot, and the branch in his hand shot a flash of fire towards Hu Er.
But the firelight smashed on Hu Er's body, and it only burned off a little fur, which had no effect.
Tiger Er broke the tree, stopped and sneered:
"You have spent most of your power on mortals, how can you be my opponent? Eating you alive today can be regarded as a good thing for the nearby landscape colleagues! ”
Silver Candle Branch is its opponent, this tiger demon itself is her natural enemy, and it never consumes her willpower, and after eating human blood and food, it is even more ferocious, and its combat power completely crushes her.
I couldn't escape the fight, and after a few rounds, the silver candle branch was scarred and covered in blood.
"Bang-"
She slammed into the rocks, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and a bone-deep scratch on her chest that nearly fainted in pain.
Hu Er licked his lips, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards her excitedly:
"Although you can't get the power of desire after eating it, your physical body is also a great tonic!"
"Roar!!
It opened its bloody jaws and bit down hard at the silver candle branch!
The silver candlestick had no choice but to close his eyes in despair and welcome the arrival of death.
“……”
After a moment, she didn't feel the pain, and she opened her eyes tremblingly.
saw that Hu Er was fixed in mid-air, and he couldn't even move his eyes, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth couldn't flow.
Withered leaves rose everywhere, a breeze swept through, and an expressionless young man in white slowly appeared.
With him, there was also a handsome young man with tall and long hair fluttering.
"Moo-"
A cow roared from the sky, and a huge bull with a large body and five colors fell from the sky.
On the back of the ox sat a man dressed as a military general, and shouted:
"Great wishes! Wait for me! ”
Bai Yao glanced at the silver candle branch, then looked at the tiger beside him, stretched out his hand, and took out the god list.
In the frightened eyes of the silver candlestick, he waved out the god list and pinched the strange seal with his hand.
As soon as his mind moved, the god list flew to the top of Tiger Er's head with a "buzz", releasing infinite suction.
I saw that Hu Er's body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the wishing power that he had painstakingly collected was sucked away by the God List, and his soul and body were shattered into slag together, and even the opportunity to reincarnate was lost.
[National Games +2000 points]
Bai Yao's eyes lit up, and an unprecedented sense of happiness permeated his heart, if it weren't for Kong Xuan and Huang Feihu, he would have been eager to punch a set of Wang Ba punches into the air.
It's not much faster than a sacrifice!
Get rich!
His eyes burned as he looked at the silver candlestick.
The fawn was stared at so that its scalp was numb, and its hind legs twitched slightly, but it did not have the courage to escape.
